You didn't see Trump ahead because you weren't looking. Every betting site swung hard toward Trump as the votes came in a la 2016.

They aren't meaningless. The betting odds flipping to 97% in favor of Trump as the count comes to a close makes it statistically improbable for Biden to come out on top.

They only changed as the endlessly "discovered" new ballots were announced.

You should maybe secure your own padded helmet before you start calling others retarded.

There's not some guy sitting in his room just setting the number to whatever his best guess is. The number is based on the movement of those placing bets.

When the numbers go upside down as soon as votes start coming in, it's an indication that a. overwhelming number of people playing the market see signs that suggest Trump is going to win. It's the fact that enough people saw a certain Trump victory to completely reverse the betting odds to his favor.

Its not that its the same as a well-designed poll. It's just another example of how, before the ballots were being found left and right, pretty much everyone was of the opinion that Trump already had it in the bag.

Yeah, its not as significant as a prophetic statement. No, it shouldn't be treated as a guarantee. But its not completely useless. It serves to justify the fact that everyone thought Trump had pulled off the win as soon as votes were being counted.

Now tighten your helmet straps a bit more, because it's apparently not protecting you from much at the moment.

So remind me at what point Trump was ahead in the real polls. Not the fantasy ones. Cause I can’t remember that ever happening.

Depends on your definition of what a "real poll" is. I understand if someone as retarded as yourself doesn't understand why that request is relevant, but none of the usual "real polls" were even close to correct. Besides, no one is suggesting that the betting odds are "real polls."

The entire point is that they were a live presentation of what people believed would happen. The "real polls" leading into Nov 3 are irrelevant to this topic.

Which is why we need real evidence and not anecdotal tea leaves nonsense. That will only get us laughed out of court.

Now now, my little retarded friend. No one is going to use betting odds in court.

My god I cant even understand why I took the time to respond. You're lost on this right out of the gate.

Again, before calling people retards as a defense mechanism for your own failure to understand basic concepts, maybe take a second to think about why you're bothering to jump into the discussion while you're clearly confused as all hell to begin with.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT AND WHY ARE RETARDS UPVOTING YOU? THE ONLY "NUMBERS" THIS GUY CLAIMED IS THE EXACT SAME NUMBER THAT TRUMP JUST CLAIMED.

ON THE NIGHT OF THE ELECTION THE BETTING ODDS SHIFTED DRAMATICALLY TOWARDS TRUMP WINNING. FACT.

You're literally the one REEEing, none of your response to him made any sense or addressed what he actually said.

You're arguing against Trump's tweet here not us. Make that clear next time you shill.
